I hope you're joking. Ford did the same thing when they were testing the Flex. They put a new front end on a stretched Freestyle. Now they're doing that with the Lincoln version. No need to worry, the Lincoln MKT will be based on the Flex.

I can't remember which engine it will be, but there will be a new engine of some sort debuting 6 months after the truck's launch, with additional engines following frequently after that.

I agree, I know I've said this several times, but it's a great looking truck.

I figured it was with all the things it did in the video demo. I'm getting tired, so I think I'll go soon. Tata (JLR haha!) for now. I'd say 143 posts and knocking a few people down the post chain is good enough for one day, wouldn't you?

I agree. I think it'd be good for Lincoln to have an Escalade EXT competitor. Maybe Mercury should get one, I dont know though. I agree with you about dropping the B-series.

I don't think so yet.

Sorry, I should've clarified. I've seen that video. I mean a close-up frontal picture like the ones above. I assume that is the 'next-gen' nav system as well (Flex/MKS)?

I see, well, in that case then, I agree with you, it should be illuminated. Maybe Ford figures you're able to feel where the dial is in relation to which illuminated icon it's pointing to?

I agree.

If it's not his line of work, it should be.

I agree as well.

I personally like the new design. If I were asked one thing I didn't like, it'd probably be the overly style tailgate. I think they did a tad too much styling. I also am not a big fan of the extra chrome strip on the bottom of the doors just below the groove. I do like the power deployable running boards though.

4-door for sure and I read somewhere that the 3-door may be there as well.

I agree. The new nav system (w/ an 8" screen) also gets rid of some of the buttons as well. It cleans things up. I haven't seen a "close up" of the nav model though, I'm going based on a 'distance' picture.

That is the Platinum model, btw, so yes it is the nice one, except it doesn't have a nav system. I don't think that's the nice Tundra interior either (not that it makes a difference) The only difference I can think of is the floor shifter.

I was just reminded how much of a joke the new Tundra is inside and out today after the Ram and F-150 debuts. Both Ram and F-150 put Tundra to shame in every which way, shape, and form.

That's what I was about to say.

That's funny.

And aerodynamic!!

At least we're getting it.

I didn't know they released that yet. As you said, they couldn't continue w/ those sort of incentives forever.

So this gives customers another possible reason to consider the F-150. I know I love having the A/C option in our Expedition, I use it all the time. I really dont want a vehicle without them now. To me A/C seats make sense in a truck. After a days work you're hot and want to cool down quickly, they'll only help. Granted, people buying decked out Platinum models likely won't be construction WORKERS, more likely construction managers/higher up positions.

That's possible.

I haven't seen any horsepower or torque specs on any press release yet, unfortunately.
